Lighthouse of the Week, December 6-12, 2015: Palau, Sardinia


Sardinia is a large island in the Mediterranean, and as such has a lot of coastline and many lighthouses.   I'll do a couple over the next two weeks.

This one is named Palau, like the archipelago in the Pacific.   But according to Lighthouses R' Us (Sardinia):

"Palau is the ferry terminal for ferries serving the Arcipelago di la Maddalena and the national park encompassing those islands. The lighthouse is located on rocks just off a promontory northwest of the harbor of Palau."

Checking a map (like this one) indicates that this area is nearly at the northern end of the northeast coast of Sardinia.

Here's two pictures:
